The correct answer is: Heartburn often results when the gastroesophageal sphincter fails to close properly.

The gastroesophageal sphincter is a muscle located at the bottom of the esophagus that has to be relaxed in order to allow food to flow down into the stomach. After it contracts (tightens), the food and the stomach acid can’t flow back up into the esophagus.

When the gastroesophageal sphincter fails to close properly acid reflux occurs and causes the heartburn.

Drag each tile to the correct box.<br> Arrange the layers and faults from oldest to youngest.
kaheart [24]

The answers would be:

Layer D

Layer C

Layer B

Layer A

Layer E

Fault F

If you'd like to know why, here's more about the question:

The law of superpo sition states that the lower the layer, the older the rock is.

Looking at the layers alone, we can say that D is the oldest, and C would be next, so on and so forth.

The law of cross - cutt ing relationships, on the other hand, states that a geologic event, like a fault, is younger than the layer that it goes through.

So if we look at the figure given, the fault goes through all the layers, so we can say that it is younger than all the layers.

Aliun [14]

The theory of natural selection was first expounded by Charles Darwin and today it is believed to be the main process that brings about evolution.

This process is defined as the process whereby organisms who better adapt to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.

Hence, according to this statement, option C is correct.

More organisms are born than can survive.
